Welcome!

Thank you for stopping by my site! I have been a teacher since graduating from Occidental College in 2000. I have taught all four grades of English Language Arts, and one year of World History. I was also the Dance Team Advisor for Verdugo Hills' former dance team. I love English and history, and believe that I have done my job successfully if my students can 1) learn to appreciate the value of literature and history and, even though they may never learn to love it, 2) understand important cultural and social implications in a given time period, and 3) know more leaving my class than when they entered. I am passionate about what I teach, and hope that is evident to my students.

This site is intended as a resource for my students and their parents alike. Here, you will find links to important handouts, calendars with date reminders, links to other websites that I believe are useful, and anything else that I think is useful, informative, or interesting.
